i debranded from orange rom and everything was fine i got an update so i did it now its saying network locked ?
Are you sim-locked to Orange?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
yup but i got the first update and everything was the same now i got a another update and it has gone like this
Try to unlock your sim card and the message should not appear again. You can buy an unlock code directly from Orange or get one online from a reputable sim-unlocking site, even on eBay. It is possible that you flashed a generic rom that included one of the radio versions which causes this network message to appear. This only happens with Orange branded phones for some reason...

I guess the update was 1.21.405.2
Orange phones that have been de-branded seem to either have their WiFi broken or go to SIM Lock. The only way out of it is to buy an unlock code. (See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693511)
The same happened to me -- although I know it would, and still wanted to de-brand. I just bought a code for £9 from: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300434867258#ht_1893wt_911 popped it in and it worked!
Yeah, it's not ideal but at least you have a de-branded and unlocked phone.
You see what you did there Faddy? You've been told on TWO previous posts SEARCH THE FORUM. In fact the answer to the two obvious questions you asked needed NO SEARCH AT ALL as the answers were recent enough they're still on the front page, but you decided beeing snarky and lazy was better.
Well you would have read peoples issues with the second update and would have avoided this. I have zero sympathy for you.
I have seen many posts by this member... makes you think, could he not have just noted all his queries in one post?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have to agree with you lot that the OP is lazy and wants spoon fed!
That said, Faddys, if you flash an older radio this should unlock your sim for you again.
I'll let you do the searching to find which one
Edit: When you flash a radio, it goes through 2 reboots. DO NOT interrupt the flash, or remove the battery if you think it's taking too long. This will brick the handset.

It might help others who are following this thread to say how you unlocked it.
Did you reflash an older radio, or did you buy an unclock code?

hiho!
I own the one x for a few day now, but the phone has some errors i didn't know from htc till now. The GPS ist unaccurate. Navigon says i'm driving with 50 km/h while i'm standing at a red trafficlight, or it turns 180° or 360°, jumps more than 300 meters into other streets...
is this a softwareproblem?

No this is a hardware issue. I had the same problem with my first Onex bought on launch day. I was sat on sofa in the front room and was doing 72mph and bouncing from street to street. Thankfully I had only had the phone 2 days so I exchanged it at store and 2nd one has been fine since.

I don't personally think this is a hardware issue.
It seems to me that it is a software/radio issue. My GPS was jumping about until i updated my radio and now it's more accurate and doesn't fly around the place.

It's a known issue with many HTC One X handsets. You should get it replaced. One of my friends had the same issue, he tried updating the software etc. as suggested by HTC's support. But it didn't fix the issue, finally after much cribbing they replaced his phone.
Let me know if I helped by clicking thanks

indeed, i can tell you 100% its hardware i took a video when it was doing it which you can find here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVsL6flRNtk
is this the same
whilst taking the video it wasnt as bad as it had been, this was only jumping in a 50m radius
when i asked a dev of ARHD he suggested it was probably a bad Logic Gate in the GPS chip
find it hard to believe its software/radio as the replacement i got (2days after launch) on the same software/radio did not have this problem

I fail to believe this.
If indeed it's a hardware problem how would i experience this before the update and not experience it after the update? It wouldn't make sense?
Can we ask what software version you're currently on? If you're on what i think you're on then it explains EVERYTHING

No worries
A radio is basically the hardware which is used to utilize/use anything connectivity-like. Such as, wifi, phone signal, mobile internet and... GPS.
HTC along with their OTA updates, send updated radio firmware updates which improve signal issues, gps, wifi dropping, call dropping all signal and gps related issues really.
It's how my GPS jumpy issue was fixed, your problem sounds a lot like mine.
I could be wrong, but i wouldn't cry that it's a severe hardware fault yet :fingers-crossed:
If it is a soft issue. Why would it only effect a handful of users.
Also my 2nd 1X currently has been on all Software versions from launch and never had this GPS bug.
You are dilluding yourself if you think its software.
Maybe they have bodged it in the software updates like they did with the flickering screens.
I'm not going to argue this point anymore but if I was you. I would be looking for a replacement from supplier.

That's a great point, the answer is exactly the same as the screen flickering issue & missing storage space. Some people got affected, others didn't, it's as simple as that. All i know is that MY problem was software. How? Because i no longer have the issue after updating, simple really. I don't claim to know everything nor do i know for a fact the OP's issue is software or hardware and neither do you.
There's nothing wrong with a debate? So why you're getting so angry and irate i'll never know
I also had problems with the GPS: could not save walking tracks, because all that jumping made each track at least double the length I walked in reality (well, it always sounds great to tell that I walk at an average speed of 20kph )
This was solved when not using AGPS (and, of cause clearing the cache)
But that made it difficult to get a location quick - most of the times it took longer than a minute, even when outside.
I changed to the Viper ROM and all problems have gone! So, in my case this definately is a software problem.

You have the correct radio. I'm not sure what else you want.
Title says it all. I thought it might be my ROM was running the newest paranoid android, noticed frequent screen ons for no reason and on further observation I noticed my phone flashes that its charging which is what's waking up my screen. I switched roms to aokp and yhe problem still persists. If this is an issue that has existed for awhile I'm sorry for posting. Just haven't seen anything like this and any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem since a few days, it also appeared when I was using the last version of PA. I tried returning to stock ROM but the problem persists. I found a lot of threads about this problem in this and other forums but dindn't find any solutions. Don't try to move the USB conector 'cause it doesn't work.
I'm afraid it is a hardware problem, but I still have hope... maybe it's just a firmware problem.. tomorrow I'll flash a stock ICS ROM, if it works I'll post it here and un this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912136

I had the same problem for at while. Thought it was a software issue, because it started somewhere around an upgrade (but then again everything would at the rate we are upgrading). It was a hardware issue on my phone and the repair shop told that it was i common issue on this model. Samsung replaced a part on the waranty and it has worked perfect since.

If I replace it do I need to restore my phone to stock? Also does it cost anything to replace the part or do they charge the 150 from the warranty?

The phone is glitchy because of the crap apps preinstalled by Sony which are eating a lot of ram memory. You can root your device and then remove some useless stuff. Here is a list of removable apps preinstalled by Sony http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671314. Also,can i ask what fw version do you have installed?

It's not the phone fault it's the firmware/software,which update did you install ICS 4.0.4,ICS is very laggy on xperia arc,that's the way it is,it's not problem with the phone.

Cause my zl kinda suffer from it...after a reboot the phone shut itself..it will stay longer if I connected to a charger but after a long period it will shut it self again...I think it's a software issue cause when in cwm, it doesn't shut down...but I have formatted to factory state and everything stock but the problem still persist...
I'm on latest 2.67 firmware and stock kernel but will relocking the bootloader will save my phone...if not, I'm gonna try to claim warranty and hopping they don't detect I'm already void the warranty even I'm relock again...

I think we are to premature to say about issues with root, modified or custom roms because the Zl, Z ,Z1 they are babys come out few mounts ago and all the developers are trying hard to make it fly. I remember my HD2, I get that phone after 2 years of his release and I was flashing tons of roms everyday and I find many powerful and stable roms. So be patient.

as far as i understand, its not because u rooted or unlocked but bcuz of a problem with the battery management syste(BMS).
there appears to be sum fault with battery or the bms, which causes the phone to shutdown.
unfortunately, the only solution is to change the battery. u will have to return ur phone to sony. but to claim warranty, u must unroot and relock the bootloader.
mind you, there is only a small number of phones with this problem.
this same issue happend with my ZL too. i returned and within one week, they returned a brand new phone to me.
mine was fully stock, locked bootloader and unrooted(the previous and the newer too)
new is working awesome.
hope this helps, if it does, u know where the thanks button is!
